Royalty Rates of Mineral
Royalty is collected directly by the State Governments. As per the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 (MMDR Act), a mining lease holder is required to pay royalty for any mineral removed or consumed from leased area to the State Government as per rates specified in Second Schedule to the MMDR Act, 1957 by the Government. The rates of royalty were last reviewed and revised by the Government on 13.8.2009. In terms of the provisions of the MMDR Act, 1957, since the royalty rates can be enhanced only once in three years, the Ministry of Mines has set up a Study Group on revision of rates of royalty and dead rent for major minerals (other than coal. lignite and sand for stowing) on 13.9.2011 .
